thin crust jalapeno pizza

Posted by with 3 Comments

jalapeno pizza

I am a little obsessed with wild pepper pizzas (located in West Wnd and once upon a time also in Auchenflower). The thin crust is what makes them so good.  The jalapeno pizza is by far my favourite (even though it is just a starter) but even when we asked nicely, they wouldn’t give us the pizza base recipe (not that I blame them), so Josh has been trying for a while now to replicate the thin crust.  This one was a Byron creation – I think this is as close as we will get!

If anyone has any suggestions… please feel free to comment.

ps. if you do go to wild pepper pizza, you also have to try the pesto lamb!
